        On Friday, October 12th, the Kindergarten classes took a trip to Kidz Kountry Farm in Southaven.  The children had a great time riding the ponies, feeding the animals, going on a hayride, picking pumpkins, watching a turtle race, and riding the train.  It was a very eventful day!  I was thrilled to be able to slip away from school and actually attend the trip as Mom!  Maylee actually said, "can you just pretend to be my Mama".  I really did not know I had to pretend.  :) 

Fall Break Happenings

We've had a fabulous fall break!  Dan was able to take an extra day off with us.  We went to Cedar Hill Farms Monday afternoon before we went to Grandmama and Popie's to celebrate the fall birthdays!  We had a great time!  The girls LOVED the big slide at the farm, the corn pit, riding the ponies, feeding the animals, and picking out pumpkins.  After the farm, we went and enjoyed visiting with the family.  Of course cake is always a BIG plus too!  

Happy Bear

Maylee's Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party

We celebrated Maylee's 6th Birthday Sunday afternoon by having a party at Chuck E. Cheese.  She asked to have her party there.  She was so excited!  After playing games for about an hour, Chuck E. and his friends put on a special "show" for the birthday honorees.  We actually saw Maylee act a little bashful during the show!  As Dan said...."there is a first time for everything"!  We all had a great time.  I think some of the adults enjoyed the games as much as the children!  Who says games are just for kids?  When we were tucking the girls in for the night, I asked Maylee what her favorite part of the party was....she said, "well it definitely was not that ticket blaster, hmmmm pizza and cake were great but nah, presents are always good but my favorite part was getting my medal."  Thank you all for helping us celebrate!

Ready to party 

Jack is ready too!

Happy 6th Birthday, Maylee!

Today is Maylee's 6th Birthday!  She had a wonderful day at school and gymnastics.  We will be celebrating her birthday this weekend at Chuck E. Cheese.  

Maylee in class getting ready for the class to sing and to eat cupcakes.

The wait is finally over  - American Girl doll!  

It was a busy day at HSES.  We had a Walk to School event where the entire school walked the block.  This was right after the walk.  I made a mad dash to her classroom, so I could hear the class sing to her.  :)  

Football and the Fair

Saturday was a great day for some football and the fair!  We watched the UT game Saturday afternoon.  We promised May that we would take her to the fair at some point and well we had two days left to do it.  After looking at the weather forecast, we knew Saturday was our only option.  The game was so intense and good that we had to watch it to the end....even though it was not the outcome we wanted.  Finally, it was time to be off to the fair.  The great thing about the Mid South Fair now being in Southaven is that it only took us about five minutes to get there.  Maylee was so excited!  This was also Jack's first trip to the fair.  Can you believe he slept through some of it?!?  We are not quiet around him at all, but that was a lot to snooze through.  After he woke up, he loved looking around at all of the lights and people.  Maylee is now tall enough to ride some of the bigger rides.  She loved them!  I really was nervous because I thought she would freak out, but she was waving her hands in the air and all the stuff you do on the rides!  Dan and I enjoyed riding the rides too.  The fair really does make you feel like a kid again.  Although...the Crazy Mouse ride gave me a little bit of a scare - the poor little boys in the car with us probably had a good laugh at me.  I swear I thought the car was going to fall off the roller coaster track.  :)  It was a great day!  

Ready to Ride 

Jack wasn't too sure about the guys asking us to play the games while Daddy and Maylee were riding.  Hmmm... me either!  :)
